Oftentimes, you hear more talk about water filters and air filters than you do about car filters. The thing is, your car filters are every bit as important. When somebody says car filters, they are usually referring to your car’s air filter, cabin air filter or the oil filter. Of the three filters mentioned above, the one that probably gets ignored the most is the cabin air filter. However, it is an essential part of your car’s ventilation system that removes pollutants from the air before they get inside the passenger compartment. Here’s one major reason why you should change your cabin air filter: roadways (especially highways during rush hour traffic) are some of the major sources of air pollution. While driving, you are breathing in air contaminated with exhaust fumes, soot and dust particles. All of these may pose a serious hazard to your health. Cabin air filters are designed to protect you against these dangers.

Have you ever had a musty smell coming from your car air conditioner? A dirty cabin filter could be the culprit. What about mildew smell coming from your car air filter? Again, a dirty cabin air filter could be the culprit. The point is, these filters are extremely important for proper air circulation in your car.

By now, you’re probably thinking that you should check your cabin air filter and get it changed immediately. Well I have good news for you.
